USP Offers Free English Courses; Find Out How to Enroll
USP has a new opportunity for those who want to boost their English skills at no cost. The University of São Paulo is offering free English courses aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, as well as staff. Enrollment is already open, but you have to act quickly because spots are limited!
Free English Courses at USP
If you study or work at USP, this is your chance to upgrade your English. The English@USP project is responsible for offering these free English courses, which are divided into four modalities: reading, listening, writing, and speaking. The best part is that you can choose to take one of these skills or all of them, depending on your needs.
How to Enroll?
Enrollments are open from August 12 to 15, with the results announced on the 16th. So, get ready because classes start on August 19. And guess what, the classes are fully online, with two live sessions each week and exclusive materials prepared by the USP team. There is a help desk for questions and extra videos so you won’t be left in the dark. [ENROLL NOW]

But Attention, There Are Some Criteria to Enroll
For example, if you want to take the writing course (Focus on Writing), you need to have completed the reading course (Focus on Reading) or the listening course (Focus on Listening). And for those who want to try speaking (Focus on Speaking), it’s only valid if you have already completed the writing course.
The objective here is not to teach grammar but to give you that little push to do well in English, whether it’s to read texts, listen to audio, write papers, or communicate in another language daily. Oh, and if you have taken any course from English@USP in the last 12 months, keep an eye out because re-enrollment may not be possible.
So, don’t waste time! If you meet the requirements and want to improve your English with the quality of USP, hurry and secure your spot. For more information, check out the project’s website and start preparing for this unmissable opportunity.
